When I was at the FDA they used it for FDA.gov. It's a html cacheing service. You push a copy of your site to their server farm, and make some DNS changes.
NOTE (BIG NOTE) If your website(s) are dynamically driven and change frequently Akamai is not an option, as far as I know. FDA has all of their ColdFusion apps locally hosted and not cached at Akamai. -- Scott Stewart ColdFusion Developer SSTWebworks 7241 Jillspring Ct.

Hey all, My boss wants me to look into what is involved with using Akamai's services. I'm hoping someone may have used them before, and could give a brief overview of what's involved: pricing structure, how is their service, how it ties into current hosting, did you notice a speed increase, that sort of thing. -- Josh ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create Web Applications With ColdFusion MX7 & Flex 2.
